“Jeanne is wonderful. Checks all the obvious boxes – reliable, trustworthy, punctual, etc. But most importantly,IMO, incredibly patient and kind. I don’t need Jeanne’s services terribly often, so there are usually big blocks of time in between her visits with Sadie. She’s always so patient in allowing Sadie to take her time and get reacquainted. Equally sensitive to her comfort as to getting the walk done and the business taken care of. I’m grateful to have found her.”

“Anna was great! She was available, prompt, friendly, and helped to make my pup feel comfortable. She saved the day for me and was available when others were not! Would highly recommend”
About: I had a dog since I was in 2nd grade, for around 15 years. I have experience in young puppy care and senior dog care. Just getting into the Rover business, but eager of learn and would love to help! So I’m currently a 3rd Resident Physician at the hospital, so I do have more time on weekends to do sit ins and walks. I miss having a dog and taking care of one so this is my way to give back! I also can do late night sit ins or walks after my shift which usually ends at 630pm. I have an apartment with a doggy park and a pet cleaning and bathing area. The doggy park is fenced with toys and water. I’m great at following instructions and will take great caution and care in others home.
About: Ive had years of experience between puppies to senior dogs. All deserve the same love. I've had a litter of 8 puppies 11 years ago and it taught me more than any book could. I still have one from that litter to this day. All dogs are different and need to be catered to independently. They all have their own love language. I work part time and its flexible, so I'm looking to fill the gaps with zoomies, pets, treats and love from dogs and other animals. In home, I have a large fenced yard, but prefer a walk so we both get exercise. Clients homes depend on what they have available.
About: I am a lifelong dog enthusiast, currently with 2 dogs of my own. As far back as childhood, I'd was in charge of the afternoon and evening walks for all of our family dogs. Throughout my adult life I have dog sat and walked dogs for friends and family someitmes even for weeks at a time. I've cared for teeny dogs through Newfoundlands and thoroughly enjoy them all! Experienced with reactive dogs and leash pullers. Comfortable with medications and special diets. Comfortable with puppies through elders! I currently work part time as a telehealth Therapist and I am building my case load so I have lots of flexibility to accommodate pet needs. Since I have two dogs of my own and limited space, I will care for clients' pets in their own homes and keep their routines as consistent as I can. I strongly believe consistency is important for dogs, even when their parents are away. I would be happy to set up a phone, in-person, or video meet-and-greet with any pets and caretakers beforehand to go over any pertinent details.
“Our dog can be very shy and nervous around new people, but with Melissa, she felt comfortable from the very beginning. It was incredible. It feels so good to have someone you can trust. Thank you, Meli.”
“Selja was a huge help when we needed a dog walker at the last minute. She was caring, eSy to communicate with, a natural with our dog (a pitbull/boxer mix) and also checked in on the 2 cats in the home. We set up the meet and greet the day before to go over the details since its a complex household w a special needs adult in the home. She was extremely professional and l would totally use her services again!!”
“Jen is fantastic!! Snoopy warmed up to her in minutes and she delivered as promised. Very happy with her service. She even sent a bunch of pictures from their walk! 🥰😍”
“Kim has been an incredible Dog Walker for us and our pooch, Rory! She's beyond helpful, punctual, and on the rare occasion has provided us important feedback when our dog has been less than cooperative. She's incredibly kind and not only does our dog love Kim, but Kim loves our dog as well. She gives her a great workout every time we use her and in a pinch when we've needed more help, Kim has been there every time to help us out! She's been a Godsend!”
About: I've been pet-sitting for over ten years. I've sat for heaps of homes with various pets including dogs, cats, fish, chickens, bunnies, and even joeys! The majority of my housesits have been for households with multiple dogs of varying breeds and needs. I've cared for elderly dogs with mobility and vision impairments, reactive/anxious pups, large and small breeds with ranging energy levels. I'm experienced providing walks/play, administering medication, giving baths and brushes, prepping meals, and obviously providing all the love and attention (as is fit based on the individual pet's personality). In addition to housesits, I have experience volunteering at an animal shelter, fostering pups in South Korea, volunteering with dog and cat rescues abroad, and doing drop-in animal care visits. My focus when sitting is assuring pets feel safe and loved while away from their loved ones. I understand separation can be difficult for both pets and owners. I'm keen to provide regular updates and photos of desired, and make time apart as cruisy and comfortable as possible. I am flexible with availability. I'm currently living at home with heaps of free-time, so I'm open to working with a schedule that'd work best for you whether it be full time, part time, or a one time position. I provide compassionate care suited to each individual pet. I'm happy to learn about your dog's likes and needs, and keen to send updates during visits.

About: I have been housesitting, dog and cat sitting for about 15 years now as a side gig. I have several references and usually rely on word of mouth referrals. I am free most weekends and holidays, with some flexibility during the week for drop in visits. I live in the New Haven area but am willing to travel for gigs.

“Mikayla was awesome with Mia! Great communication and took tons of pictures. Mia was super comfortable around her and they got lots of steps in. If we are in the area again we will definitely reach out. Thank you! :)”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my passion for personalized care and my experience with various dog breeds. I currently work at a veterinary hospital as a receptionist and I love my day being filled with many furry friends. I ensure pets develop good habits from the start, and I also provide attentive care for senior dogs, catering to their unique needs. My home offers a safe, playful environment, and I prioritize regular exercise and mental stimulation. With my flexible schedule, I can accommodate last-minute bookings, and I offer photo updates so you can see your furry friend’s adventures! I currently work during the week, but I have full availability on the weekends to accommodate your furry best friend and their needs. I’m also able to accommodate boarding during the week as we are a very pet friendly household and there’s always someone at home to ensure your pet feels comfortable and well taken care of. I have a fenced yard, and the most adorable labradoodle at home to keep your best friend company. I’m also able to provide a crate if needed, and I am able to take your pets on as many walks as their heart desires.
About: I have experience working with hyperactive, timid, disabled, aggressive and elderly dogs! I am very patient and knowledgeable on how to care for all dog personalities accordingly. I understand how to approach a dog who is not used to me as well as avoid a situation where a dog feels distressed. Due to my cousin's past of being a dog walker, he has passed down the tips and tricks of handling dogs! I can walk, jog, run, pet and play with your dog upon request! I am also a vigilant walker- your dogs safety is very important to me!:) I also carry the ability to get a fickle dog from not wanting to walk to jogging (treats are the trick). I will not provide the treats, however if you do I can assure you your dog will be well rewarded!
“Thank you so much Mai! You helped out and loved on my boy last minute when I was in a pinch! The pics and updates were so much appreciated and helped me to feel some relief of anxiousness of leaving Linus with a stranger! He was happy when I returned so I know he felt cared for! We will be reaching out again!”

We’ve just started working with Carole and she’s fantastic so far! She holds our dog to high expectations, shares robust updates about their walks together, and generously squeezed us in when she already had a full week. We’re grateful to be working with her and look forward to continuing to do so!
Jeanne is wonderful. Checks all the obvious boxes – reliable, trustworthy, punctual, etc. But most importantly,IMO, incredibly patient and kind. I don’t need Jeanne’s services terribly often, so there are usually big blocks of time in between her visits with Sadie. She’s always so patient in allowing Sadie to take her time and get reacquainted. Equally sensitive to her comfort as to getting the walk done and the business taken care of. I’m grateful to have found her.
Layla took excellent care of our little pup and was really flexible and highly responsive when our plans changed. Our dog has a bit of separation anxiety but we notice even after a multi day absence when we come back after Layla’s care she is very relaxed. We highly recommend her.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your East Haven. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
